Al:
This sounds like the reduce work on future maintenance might be a 
blessing.  As for orphaning the product, I would hate to see that 
happen..My current version is presently 1.3.22 and I have on many 
occasions attempted to build a version 2 apache only not to make it.  It 
was only within the past two years I discovered that a version 2 was 
available so I put this project on my to do list.

The MAJOR reason I'm hanging on 1.3.22 for cygwin is that it supports 
true Unix-style symbolic links.  It saves a lot of data movement and/or 
duplication.

If you don't have anyone to volunteer the work on apache 2, I'll just 
keep my 1.3.22 system.  It has been a very reliable product.  I don't 
use any transaction nor SSL.apps.

P.S.  I can't volunteer any time on this due to my health.
